Remove bookmarks from the bookmark toolbar with out being asked are you sure? (IE)

Submitted by .Chris on January 22, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

The bookmark bar, to me is like a short cut to the actual boookmarks side pannel/folder. There should be no reason why it always has to ask you "are you sure you want to move "_________________________" to the recycle bin"

steps to reproduce:

1. open IE
2. add a website to your bookmarks tool bar
3. now right click it and delete it.
4. see message

Eirther remove it, or give us an option to "now show this message"

also, update the dialog. It does not follow aero guidelines.

+1 for at least the option.

I always hated this behavior in Firefox that there's no confirmation. But +1 for the option.

That's the standard Explorer delete prompt, as IE stores its favourites as files, so wouldn't the option affect the rest of the OS as well?

Well joe, if you are right clicking and hitting delete, im sure you are sure you want to delete, other wise you wouldnt have done it!
